LOW HUNTER,
Seems like after few weeks on the road I been tracking on die end one low pressure the hole way..
1/5 week ago I was just back in Holland after a trip to DK, when Peter Volwater call me if I was interested in a trip. Destination was not really clear yet, the only thing what was clear that peter needed some wave action soon!!
After almost been a half year doing only Slalom and scoring really good, i undetstood.
So Last week Wednesday afternoon we decided to go the next morning to Ireland to catch there some big swell 6m and 12 seconds.
I med in Pozo The kid Mikey Clancy and gift him a ring as he is from there. He had the same plan as us and picked us up the next morning.
With a long Night/Morning travel in or legs we arrived on Brandon were we where earlier than the low.
In the evening we scored a okay session port tack and went early to bed.
The Day,
Next morning the swell still needed to build up, but good enough for some onshore starboard tack 3m waves sailing. I seemed that the problem later that day not would be swell high but swell direction and wind direction..
In the mid day we sailed at a break with port tack with some side shore 2m waves max.
But still couldn’t get the ride combo.. So we went back to the morning spot where we tried to do some low wind wave sailing with starboard tack onshore.. Didn’t really worked out…
So that was the big day, hmmm not really what we expected to get but still three session’s on one day..
Next morning we woke up with a beautiful view over Brandonbay. There we also saw that the swell dropped to a small wave..Arggg
Still we step in the car and drove to Dumps were we were surprised to see some okay waves.
So we catch a surf what ended up to be a good surf. In the evening we scored again a surf what even pick up to a good size clean.
Next Morning it was back on to the windsurf tune as the wind would slowly pick up.
We scored some 1/5m down the line wave riding. This day gift us the peaceful feeling that the trip was worth doing it. As extra Peter and mikey even scored the next day a freestyle/ wavey day. The winner of that was Mikey.. Pulling some nice Goiter’s behind the wave, almost in front of the wave!!!
So that was that in Ireland, back to the plane to go as fast as possible to Holland as the wind should picking up to a strong wind size..
Thanks to Gerry and the Uncle Off Mikey for the nice warm beds .. Gerry’s Emaill (Bed and Brandonbay View) is manzor@io.ie
Back in Dusseldorf/Weeze , we were glad we made it as we had some pretty heavy bag’s. Oehff
Once by Peter’s house we saw that the wind should pick up in the afternoon so we repacked or gear and went straight to Good Old wijkie were we scored some 5.0 1/5 port tack wave sailing..
If I was not enough, next day I done some low wind wave sailing with my Sado 6.2.
Yesterday ‘Thursday’, the wind picked up to a strong wind in the gust’s up to 50KN..
I sailed 2hours and gift full gas, see the result below.. Many Thanks to JEPE who was out there in the Dog weather, thanks..
On the end I just found out that the Low in DK was the same as the one in Ireland where it combine with a new Low and that one I now back above Holland doing some windy things..
Trip in Ireland we were a bit on lucky with the rain, it was not possible to score some good pictures, sorry for that.
See You out there,
The Lamp
